Chapter 234 The Emperor Gets Slapped
Although Li Hong was not the eldest grandson of Emperor Yuanhe, he was his legitimate grandson.
Li Hong smiled at Emperor Yuanhe, which reminded him of Li Wenjing who was like this when he was a child, always smiling and blowing bubbles at him, his father.
He married the queen when they were young.
Because his biological mother was just an ordinary palace maid, he was just an insignificant prince and suffered humiliation in the palace.
Therefore, he often sneaked out of the palace wearing the clothes of a young eunuch.
It was the Queen's advice that enabled him to ascend the throne.
He also went against public opinion and made her the queen.
He and the queen also had a harmonious relationship.
But the queen had not given birth to a child yet, and these ministers put too much pressure on him, so he had no choice but to take women into the palace one after another.
Gradually, his heart also tilted.
Seeing the prince and his family of three now reminded him of many past events.
Just like them, he and the Queen went through thick and thin together.
Even though they were in the palace, the three of them lived like ordinary people, loving each other.
Jing'er would also act like a spoiled child in front of her father.
Even if there were other women around for political benefits, it could not stop his relationship with the queen.
When did he change? Even he himself forgot.
Now Jing'er refuses to even call him "Father".
"Can I hug him?"
Li Wenjing was still very nervous. He was afraid that the emperor would not accept Lin Zhiyi. If that happened, he would turn around and leave.
It doesn’t matter if the emperor doesn’t recognize me!
But seeing that he looked kind, he nodded at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
She first handed the child to Li Wenjing, who then personally carried the child to the emperor.
Li Hong is already six or seven months old. It should be because he has been drinking spiritual spring water since he was a child, the little guy is strong and lively.
Emperor Yuanhe hugged Li Hong, and seeing him smiling at him, Emperor Yuanhe also smiled with wrinkles on his face.
He ordered, "Bring me paper and pen. I want to personally name my grandson."
"He already has a name, Li Hong."
Emperor Yuanhe was stunned for a moment. "Li Hong, Li Hong, great ambitions, what a good name."
At this time, Li Hong grabbed Emperor Yuanhe's beard, pulled it once but it didn't move, so he pulled it again.
Return to the Emperor Yuanhe's music.
Emperor Yuanhe felt pain, but instead of getting angry, he smiled happily, "This child is well raised. You have worked hard."
Emperor Yuanhe said this to Lin Zhiyi, and it was also his recognition of her.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is what a daughter-in-law should do."
Facing the emperor, Lin Zhiyi was still very reserved, afraid that she might say something wrong that would be detrimental to Li Wenjing.
"You should call me Father."
Emperor Yuanhe's words made Lin Zhiyi feel a little embarrassed.
She looked at Li Wenjing.
If it weren't for Li Wenjing, it could be said that she would have no relationship with the emperor at all.
Now that Li Wenjing himself refuses to call him father, how can she ignore Li Wenjing's feelings and forgive him on his behalf?
At this moment, the eunuch suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen requests to see you", breaking the awkward situation.
Emperor Yuanhe said, "Let her come in. Let her come and see my grandson."
Li Wenjing frowned.
Although various evidences have proved that Li Wenjing was wronged, it was the servants in the Prince's Mansion who betrayed their master and framed him for using witchcraft.
But the emperor did not find out the mastermind behind it.
When Lord Chen told Li Wenjing about this, Li Wenjing knew that his father had probably already figured out that Li Wencheng was the mastermind behind the incident, but as long as Concubine Wen peed a few times in front of his father, he would soften his heart.
What made Li Wenjing even more heartbroken was that the emperor knew very well that he hated Concubine Wen, but still summoned her into the palace.
When Concubine Wen entered the palace, she saw Emperor Yuanhe holding his little grandson Li Hong and laughing. The old emperor was laughing so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and the child in his arms was dancing with joy. The crisp laughter echoed in the palace.
She was secretly annoyed that the people Cheng'er sent out were all trash.
Now that the three of them have returned to Chang'an and he has resumed his position as crown prince, I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with.
Concubine Wen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Well, stand up."
"Ah! This child is so cute, who is this?"
Although Concubine Wen pretended to be very happy, a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes and was still caught by Lin Zhiyi.
Li Wenjing was framed and exiled because of this person, and the rift between father and son was also caused by her.
Emperor Yuanhe laughed out loud twice, "Yes, he is very good-looking. This child not only looks like Jing'er when she was young, but his personality is also most like mine."
Emperor Yuanhe did have other grandsons, but he would be frightened to tears every time he saw him.
Concubine Wen smiled falsely, "Yes, looking at it this way, this child is 50% similar to Your Majesty."
The smile on Emperor Yuanhe's face widened. "Does it really look like me?"
Concubine Wen flattered, "Yes, Your Majesty. I like this child, too. Can you hold him?"
"What? Do you want to snatch my grandson from me? If you like, let Cheng'er give birth to one for you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Concubine Wen felt a little aggrieved. "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. How could I possibly compete with Your Majesty for the Emperor's grandson? Besides, I can't win. Look at this child. If he didn't like Your Majesty, how could he laugh so loudly in Your Majesty's arms? I simply like this child."
Concubine Wen was beautiful. Although she was almost forty years old, she looked no more than in her twenties or thirties because of her good maintenance.
When she spoke, her voice ended with a slight upward curve, and she sounded gentle and soft. It sounded like she was explaining to the emperor, but in fact she was just acting coquettishly with him.
Not only did Emperor Yuanhe feel numb after hearing it, even Lin Zhiyi liked it.
If it weren't for the fact that she had harmed Li Wenjing, Lin Zhiyi would have been fooled by her false appearance.
She couldn't let Concubine Wen hold Hong'er.
But we can't go too far, otherwise it won't do them any good.
Li Wenjing's face also looked very ugly. When he was about to snatch the child away, he saw Lin Zhiyi shaking his head at him.
He frowned and stared at Emperor Yuanhe. If he dared to let Concubine Wen hold his son, his father would not recognize him.
"In that case, let me give you a hug."
As soon as Emperor Yuanhe finished speaking, Li Hong waved his little hand and slapped Emperor Yuanhe hard.
This slap not only stunned Emperor Yuanhe, but also Li Wenjing and Lin Zhiyi.
Concubine Wen snorted in her heart.
Li Wenjing, Li Wenjing, you are finished.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuanhe burst into laughter. "This punch really evokes some of the majesty of my youth! Under heaven, the only one who dares to throw a punch at me is you, the devil."
Emperor Yuanhe's tone was full of doting.
Li Hong chuckled again.
Concubine Wen gritted her teeth, it seemed that this child really could not be kept.
But she still had a smile on her face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of your precious grandson."
The emperor was even happier.
"Your Majesty, I am still waiting to be held."
Seeing that Concubine Wen was genuinely fond of the child, Emperor Yuanhe nodded and said, "You can only hold the child for a moment. I haven't held him enough yet."
Concubine Wen snorted in her heart.
Today is the day this little beast dies!
The golden body between her fingers was stained with arsenic soaked in gold juice, which could not be detected even by a silver needle.
As long as her armor touches the little beast's skin, it will be poisoned and she will never be able to find the cause.
Just as she was about to hug Li Hong, she saw Li Hong slap Concubine Wen in the face.
Concubine Wen's expression changed instantly.
